Chisato end confirmed.

I just started playing VN and I had pressed CTRL (skip button) for the entire game (Chisato route). I will play anyone's route just not hers which angers me more that they ORDER ME TO play this route even if I didn't want to..

yup ep 11 made it 100% clear for me. Haven't played the VN but ep 10 already gave me the feeling they would go for the Chisato end. Kinda sucks. I was really hoping he'd go with the finance commitee girl. And like everyone else already mentioned, Chisato is way to clingy (as most childhood friend characters tend to be, from my experience)

It ain't over yet. 2 episodes left to be animated. Anything can happen within 48 minutes. Let's just not lose Hope for a Original/Harem/Satsuki End at the moment. The war isn't over yet haha.

Nope its a lost battle; which is a shame since i think almost anyone would agree that the rating would be higher with a Satsuki ending.

I don't watch a whole lot of anime, I usually only watch a couple of shows a year. When I checked out the first couple of episodes, I was pleasantly surprised with the writing: I felt like the show struck a pretty good balance between advancing the story and developing the relationships with the characters.

Let me preface this by saying I don't dislike the character of Chisato (I mean, technically I do, but I think she's a unique and decently written character). Her clear psychological issues add a layer of complexity to the show, and the amount of crazy displacement she does as a coping mechanism is a pretty solid foundation for an interesting character. The point of her character, however, is totally lost if the writers make her the end game. If she and Yuki end up together, it sends an absolutely horrible message.

First of all, she's clearly unstable. I don't blame her; her brother's death is tragic and scarring, sure. The problem is that her relationship with Ojima, because of psychological issues, is clearly abusive and unhealthy. People have brought up the subject of Yuki being her property. It's not just a matter of her being disrespectful or even just plain obsessive with him; she actually uses Yuki as an object for displacing her brother-issues. An object. This is all interesting writing, hell, it's great writing--as long as the protagonist ends up pulling away from their screwed up, abusive relationship and establishes that he is not an object for her to displace her issues onto. He does that, it's awesome. What also needs to happen is for her to learn to break free from her dependency. This is where the writers lose the moral. If she and Ojima end up together, without significant pause after ending the abuse cycle, the message it sends is that there is no escaping that kind of relationship. She still suffers from dependency. Chisato still needs him in an unhealthy, scary way. I honestly think she'd kill herself if he ever left her--that's the kind of thing she needs to overcome. If she can free herself from her dependency issues, that would be an amazing, happy ending. It also requires her to NOT end up with him.

Besides the moral issues I have with the ending, I also think based on the way the show has progressed that it would be pretty bad writing. My issue with the whole childhood friend is that the writers use it lazily to establish a meaningful relationship that existed before the show aired. They can say, "Hey, it make sense for them to end up together. Their relationship has been building their whole lives," and just do it. The truth is, we don't really experience any of that romantic development. In reality, the writing we experience is, opposite of romantic growth, the characters having a relationship breakdown (because lo and behold, a relationship based on an abusive premise is bound to fall apart). They can justify it by saying childhood friends, relationship was already built up--but that doesn't do anything for me because I didn't get to experience that growth besides like, two short flashbacks. The most meaningful romantic development in this show has been between Satsuki and Yuki, because we actually see that development happening on screen over the course of the show. Yuki and Chisato's relationship is fascinating and well written, as long as the ending to that relationship is both of them realizing that they have serious issues (Chisato with her dependency and Yuki basically allowing himself to be psychologically abused and objectified) and moving forward.

It looks like the ending is going to totally ignore the brilliant relationship build-up and have the two characters in a hopelessly abusive relationship stay in their relationship, retain their dependency and lose all of the beautiful character growth that's been developing.

Though like I said, I don't watch a whole lot of anime and this is from an entirely Western lens, so who knows, maybe I have no clue what I'm talking about.

How is this thread still up?

I had this anime on my PTW next thing I know I'm scrolling through the forums and read "Chisato end" boom. If this actually turns out correct just ruined it for me and probably several others. =/

Sigh. Why Chisato? Worst annoying character. CHOKE ON YOUR CHOCOLATE YOU ANNOYING BITCH.

Horrible ending. Ruined by a horrid character.

I wish the VN would get translated so I could see a character that doesn't suck.

Enslavement said:

I would give this series a 10, as well as buy the bd's if she chokes on the fucking chocolate and dies.

I hope you choose well directors, for your own safety (lol).

Raisken said:


Haha, good one. +1
I am not a Chisato fan but seeing her die would be kind of sad, but for sure it would be hilarious to choke on chocolate.

If Yuuki choose someone else then her I AM PRETTY SURE that she would go insane and we would be seeing ending like in school days. xD

Enslavement said:

AAAANDDD I still prefer that ending over chisato end...
